Review summary

great cruise. we always have fun and enjoy the time away from the cold weather in South Dakota and the entertainment, food and drinks on the ship

Embarkation

5 out of 5
very good went very smooth and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
buffet was normal sometimes great sometimes okay. drinks are always good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
it seemed as though there were not quite as many activities that we enjoy doing on this ship as there has been on other ships. love trivia and games like that and only had a couple of them a day rather than all day like on other ships. but overall there was a lot of variety and had plenty to do each day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
love the Hasbro game and lip sync battle. punchliner was very good also and the production shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
staff is always so great whenever we have cruised. all very friendly and helpful. always a smile on their faces.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
thought the vista was more chopped up and did not care for the layout. we had anytime dining and had to check in on 5th floor then go down to 3rd floor for seating. also less seating in the lounges and those are the places that fill up the quickest for the production shows and the comedy shows.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
love these rooms as you get a large window without the higher price tag, they have lots of room and our room was always clean

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
first time doing Mr. Sancho's love this place will definitely go back

Belize City, Belize

4 out of 5
didnt really do much, city tour and rum factory, could pass on both of those again, but the conch fritters are amazing at the bar right there on the pier - Wet Lizard

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
love this place so much to see and do, went to daniel johnson's held monkeys and sloths definitely a must do. also went to the iguana farm which was so cool. can't wait to come back here again.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
we were one of the first off so went fairly quick and smooth heard others had a more difficult time though.
